I would be interested to know if any body has a small backyard worm
farm and what their experience with it has been.  I started one in
October this year, 1997 in a 44 gallon drum cut in half length ways.
I found 2 or 3 hundred worms around my compost heap and used some
unfinished compost as their bed.  I am feeding them with organic
household  scraps.  It's a rather frustrating game, you can't see
whats happening but the original compost has gone down to about half
so I guess they are doing their thing. 

I wish you all and those you love the best for 1998

Dennis
